until i made bffbf's costume (aang the airbender) a few weeks ago, it had been over three months since i had sewn anything. i spent most of the summer baking, cooking, and working out, and just didn't set aside time to pull out my sewing machine. inspired by the success of his costume, i decided i wanted to sew some more. i had recently purchased some apparel fabric and using an old shirt as a guide, made a pattern for a basic blouse.

here's the front view. it's a little hard to tell but the front is scooped. the back (below) has a v-neck with a strap across it.

and here it is on. i would love to say that i was able to whip this up in a couple of hours, but it actually took me many hours from pattern making to finish. i'm really out of practice! but it still felt great to sew again.
